Swamp Thing - Bažináč 1 - Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette, John Totleben

V letech 1983-1987 mladý britský scenárista jménem Alan Moore zmodernizoval americký komiks. Jeho přelomové pojetí Bažináče nastavilo nové standardy pro grafické vyprávění a vyvolalo v komiksovém médiu malou revoluci. Navázal na rámec gotického hororu svých předchůdců a umocnil jej intuitivním stylem vyprávění a bezprecedentní hloubkou postav. Moorovu vizi pak realizovali znepokojivě krásnou kresbou takoví spolupracovníci jako Stephen Bissette, John Totleben, Dan Day a Rick Veitch. Výsledkem je mistrovské dílo odolávající zubu času. V tomto prvním ze šesti dílů Moorovy Ságy o Bažináčovi jsou sebrány sešity 20-28. Svazek obsahuje rovněž předmluvu známého hororového autora Ramseyho Campbella a úvod od spolutvůrce a redaktora původní série Lena Weina.

Saga of the Swamp Thing Book One - Alan Moore

His deconstruction of the classic monster stretched the creative boundaries of the medium and became one of the most spectacular series in comic book history.With modern-day issues explored against a backdrop of horror, The Swamp Thing stories became commentaries on environmental, political and social issues, unflinching in their relevance. Saga of the Swamp Thing Book One collects issues #20-27 of this seminal series including the never-before-reprinted Saga of The Swamp Thing #20, where Moore takes over as writer and concludes the previous storyline.Book One begins with the story "The Anatomy Lesson," a haunting origin story that reshapes Swamp Thing mythology with terrifying revelations that begin a journey of discovery and adventure that will take him across the stars and beyond.

Swamp Thing - Bažináč 6: Shledání - Alan Moore

Po neočekávaném útoku v Gothamu se Bažináč zachránil jen tím, že vrhl své vědomí přes celou galaxii. Probudil se na vzdálené modré planetě plné života, ovšem bez inteligentních tvorů. V naprosté izolaci Bažináč skoro zešílel, nakonec se však znovu vrhl do vesmíru v naději, že se nakonec dostane domů. Když nyní skáče ohromnou prázdnotou (včetně zastávky na Rannu, adoptivním světě Adama Strange), Bažináč zjišťuje, že život dokáže být zvláštnější a fantastičtější, než si kdy představoval. Nic ovšem nemůže být báječnější než jeho konečný cíl - návrat domů a shledání s milovanou Abby.

Watchmen - Strážci - Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons

"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" ptali se už latiníci. Kdo střeží ty, kdož střeží nás? Je těžké dohlédnout na ty, kteří mají moc, i když jsou to normální lidé - a co teprve když mají schopnosti, o kterých se nám ani nesnilo. V roce 1984 vyšly dva komiksy, které změnily žánr - a dodnes se fanoušci hádají, který z nich je zásadnější. V jednom hrál hlavní roli Batman a Frank Miller ho pojmenoval Návrat temného rytíře - a u druhého si Alan Moore vystačil s jediným slovem. Watchmen, tedy Strážci. Oba komiksy mají hodně společného. Oba se dívají na svět superhrdinů novým pohledem, oba ničí mýty a oba balancují na pokraji apokalypsy. Ale tam, kde Miller ještě nabízí pozitivního superhrdinu, tam už má Moore obyčejné lidi s neobyčejnými schopnostmi. Lidi někdy kruté, se svými úchylkami a tajnostmi, se špínou schovanou pod maskami. Ovšem lidi velmi mocné (a v jednom případě i všemocné).

The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic - Alan Moore, Steve Moore

Splendid news for enquiring minds, and guaranteed salvation for humanity! Messrs. Steve and Alan Moore, current proprietors of the celebrated Moon & Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels (sorcery by appointment since circa 150 AD) are presently engaged in producing a clear and practical grimoire of the occult sciences that offers endless necromantic fun for all the family. Exquisitely illuminated by a host of adepts including Kevin O''Neill, John Coulthart, Steve Parkhouse, Rick Veitch and Ben Wickey, this marvellous and unprecedented tome promises to provide all that the reader could conceivably need in order to commence a fulfilling new career as a diabolist. Its contents include profusely illustrated instructional essays upon this ancient sect''s theories of magic, notably the key dissertation ''Adventures in Thinking,'' which gives reliable advice as to how entry into the world of magic may be readily achieved. Further to this, a number of ''Rainy Day'' activity pages present lively and entertaining things-to-do once the magical state has been attained, including such popular pastimes as divination, etheric travel and the conjuring of a colourful multitude of sprits, deities, dead people and infernal entities from the pit, all of whom are sure to become your new best friends. Also contained within this extravagant compendium of thaumaturgic lore is a history of magic from the last ice age to the present day, told in a series of easy-to-absorb pictorial biographies of fifty great enchanters and complemented by a variety of picture stories depicting events ranging from the Palaeolithic origins of art, magic, language and consciousness to the rib-tickling comedy exploits of Moon & Serpent founder Alexander the False Prophet (''He''s fun, he''s fake, he''s got a talking snake!''). In addition to these manifold delights, the adventurous reader will also discover a series of helpful travel guides to mind-wrenching alien dimensions that are within comfortable walking distance, as well as profiles of the many quaint local inhabitants that one might bump into at these exotic resorts. A full range of entertainments will be provided, encompassing such diverse novelties and pursuits as a lavishly decorated decadent pulp tale of occult adventure recounted in the serial form. Completing this almost-unimaginable treasure trove is a lengthy thesis revealing the ultimate meaning of both the Moon and the Serpent in a manner that makes transparent the much-obscured secret of magic, happiness, sex, creativity and the known Universe, while at the same time explaining why these lunar and ophidian symbols feature so prominently in the order''s peculiar name. (Manufacturer''s disclaimer: this edition does not, however, reveal why the titular cabal of magicians consider themselves to be either grand or Egyptian. Let the buyer beware.) A colossal and audacious publishing triumph of three hundred and fifty-two pages, beautifully produced in the finest tradition of educational literature for young people, The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic will transform your lives, your reality, and any spare lead that you happen to have lying around into the purest and most radiant gold.

Now it is 1941, and with her daughter strategically married into the family of aerial warlord Jean Robur, Janni''s raiders have only limited contact with the military might of the clownish German-Tomanian dictator Adenoid Hynkel. But when the pirate queen learns that her loved ones are held hostage in the nightmarish Berlin, she has no choice save to intervene directly, travelling with her ageing lover Broad Arrow Jack into the belly of the beastly metropolis. Within that alienated city await monsters, criminals, and legends, including the remaining vestiges of Germany’s notorious ‘Twilight Heroes’, a dark Teutonic counterpart to Mina Murray’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And waiting at the far end of this gauntlet of alarming adversaries there is something much, much worse.Continuing in the bold tradition of Heart of Ice, Moore and O''Neill deliver their sharpest thriller yet. Berlin is a grey city, but as cultures clash and lives are lost in the explosive collision of four unforgettable women, the shadows will grow blacker and the ground redder, in the alleyways where thrive The Roses of Berlin.

While out procuring inventory, Dennis’s life changes forever when he chances upon a novel that shouldn’t exist; an entirely fictional book from inside another novel. The book hails from The Great When, a magical shadow-London, where reality blurs with fiction and concepts like Crime, Poetry and Riot are incarnated as mystical beings that stalk the streets. This discovery brings terrible danger, as the book’s presence leaves the doorway open between the two Londons, and The Great When must remain a secret. Soon Dennis finds himself in the city’s occult underbelly, negotiating sorcerers, gangsters, and murderers – some imaginary, some all too real, and all with plans of their own. If Dennis cannot return the book and close the gate, he risks dire repercussions... Neither London will ever be the same again. History collides with magic in The Great When. Dark, ridiculous, propulsive, Sunday Times bestseller Alan Moore opens the gates to capital metafictional chaos in the genre-busting first instalment of the Long London series.''It does what fantasy does best which is show us something beyond our experience… this shows us something absolutely new'' Susanna Clarke''A breathless time-travelling classic.

Vnitroblok, Neonomicon i Providence se tak dostávají českému čtenáři v opulentní knize, která je povinností pro všechny fanoušky kultovního autora. Sága vrhá světlo na dodnes neprozkoumané hrůzyplné aspekty děl H. P. Lovecrafta. Opulentní hororový komiks je proto právem oslavován jako jedna z nejobsáhlejších knih věnujících se znepokojujícím motivům Lovecraftova díla. Epos představuje události předcházející napsání nejslavnějších povídek z mytologie HPL. Zároveň ukazuje důsledky jejich stvoření pro naši realitu a sny. Moore nenechal nic náhodě a podílel se na všech fázích výroby - od příběhu přes kresbu a lettering až po samotné vydání. Výsledkem je mistrovské dílo posouvající hranice žánru, které umožňuje znovu si prožít všechny příběhy klasického kánonu v nových, překvapujících souvislostech.

If You Can Kill It I Can Cook It - Swamp Dogg

An idea 50 years in the making, this entertaining cookbook from a cult music legend is chock-full of stories and soul foodBefore there was Snoop Dogg, there was Swamp Dogg. Born Jerry Williams Jr., he first rose to fame as a 12-year-old soul singer called Little Jerry. As an adult, he went on to reintroduce himself as “Swamp Dogg”—a legendary singer, songwriter and record producer whose singular voice and ideas have shaped the history of soul, country, hip-hop and R&B.An avid foodie, Swamp Dogg once proclaimed in 1972 that he would write a cookbook so transformative that the legacies of culinary giants such as Julia Child, Betty Crocker and even Colonel Sanders would pale in comparison. Now, more than 50 years later, that work is finally here.If You Can Kill It I Can Cook It is a book for those who appreciate recipes seasoned with personality and history, and stories to go with dinner. This is more than a cookbook: it’s a biographical artifact and a journey into the mind of a chef who’ll teach you how to make “Baked Beans Bo Diddley,” “James Brown In Flight Chicken” and “Willie Nelson Potatoes Platter.” It’s also a glimpse into the savory life of a musical genius, richly illustrated with tales and photos of family, food, music and business.Jerry Williams Jr., also known as Swamp Dogg (born 1942), sang under his own name in the 1960s while also working for record labels such as Musicor and Atlantic Records. In 1970 he adopted the moniker Swamp Dogg and has recorded 25 soul and R&B albums. His collaborators have included John Prine, Jenny Lewis and Bon Iver.

Swamp Kings - Jason Ryan

The stranger-than-fiction story of the now-notorious Lowcountry clan, in all its Southern Gothic intensity—by an author with unparalleled access to and knowledge of the players, the history, and the place.The most famous man in South Carolina lives in prison. He stands convicted of a staggering amount of wrongdoing—more than 100 crimes and counting. Once a high-flying, smooth-talking, pedigreed Southern lawyer, Alex Murdaugh is now disbarred and disgraced. For more than a decade, prosecutors asserted that Alex was secretly a fraud, a thief, a drug trafficker, and an all-around phony. On the night of June 7, 2021, they claimed, he also became a killer, shooting dead his wife and son in a desperate bid to escape accountability. The many crimes of Alex Murdaugh, exposed piecemeal over the last two years, have appalled the general public. Yet his implosion—the spectacular manner in which he has turned his vaunted family name to mud—has also proved mesmerizing. With every revelation, Alex Murdaugh has been shown to be a man without bottom, though he insists he never harmed his family. Remarkably, all of his misdeeds have precedent. In Swamp Kings, Jason Ryan reveals Alex’s evil actions are only the tip of the iceberg. When it comes to the Murdaugh family of Hampton County, history has a way of repeating itself. For every alleged, headline-grabbing crime associated with Alex Murdaugh, mirror-image incidents have played out within his family’s past, including parallel instances of fraud, theft, illicit trafficking of babies and booze, calamitous boat crashes, and even alleged murder. There were some crimes committed by Alex’s kin that even he would not dare mimic. Covering a century of depravity in an impoverished and isolated stretch of the Deep South, Swamp Kings weaves together the jaw-dropping narratives of generations of Murdaughs before culminating in the telling of a murder trial for the ages. Page after page the family’s legacy is laid bare as a spotlight is finally trained on the Murdaugh men who have long lorded over the South Carolina Lowcountry.
